Question I found this on my desktop...what does this mean? There were 2 files.

[Roadside777]

File #1

[.ShellClassInfo]
LocalizedResourceName=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-21799
[LocalizedFileNames]
Norton Security.lnk=@C:\PROGRA~1\NORTON~1\Branding\muis.dll,-601

File #2

[.ShellClassInfo]
LocalizedResourceName=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-21769
IconResource=%SystemRoot%\system32\imageres.dll,-183

Are these desktop.ini files? They are always there, and usually hidden. It's likely that a File Explorer setting has been changed that allows you to see all system files.

Open Explorer, go to File Options, View tab, be sure that:
"Hide protected operating system files"
is checked.

Edit: The reason there are two is because you desktop is made up of 2 folders, a User account in your name, and the Public account which all users see.
